Fall Drink: Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom

It’s hard to believe October is right around the corner, but we’re beginning to get our first feels of fall in the mornings as well as starting to see it around town in specialty items. But nothing makes us more excited about fall than football season and the array of beers that come with Oktoberfest.

“We’re running a football special all day Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Mondays and Thursdays the hour before the game,” says Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom general manager Lauren Gholz. Red Zone Combos let you choose a combo of items from Sicilian pepperoni rolls, buffalo chicken rolls, boneless or traditional wings, or a one-topping pub pizza, either two for $9 or three for $12. Also be sure to check out their Tailgate Grill Menu featuring bacon burgers, steak sandwiches, and more, each pairing perfectly with a cold brew.

Speaking of brews, during this football special, pints and talls of Blue Moon, Miller Lite, and Leinenkuegul will vary from $3.50, $4.50 and $5.50. Football season ends in February and so will this special, so we suggest gathering up your NFL or college football friends and heading over to Old Chicago while the offer still lasts.

The delicious food, sweet beer deals, and the fact that the place is filled with flat screen televisions...where else would you go to watch the game? And on the days of the week that there is no football, fear not, because Old Chicago always has you covered with beer and sustenance.

Each table has a book featuring how and what to pair with certain beers, or you can ask Russell, their resident beer expert. Ask him which beer you should drink to kick off your personal bout of the World Beer Tour.

Drink different beers to get sweet shirts, coozies, glassware, and more. Drink all 110 beers and have the satisfaction of accomplishing a goal some only dream of and get your name highlighted on the Wall of Foam.
